(51)  “But Rafael, I thought, it was for others we should do good but why should we do good for our Self?” All nodded. “That’s a good question Mark, But again you are forgetting we are all spiritual beings originating from GOD, our Father. Which means, we are the different parts of the same body, there is no difference of any sort between two human beings, except for the covering of the souls.” “Do you mean to say the physical bodies is the only difference between two persons?” “Exactly. That is where we are different, but underneath it all we are all the same.” “Oh!!! Isn’t it lovely?” “Yes Rebecca, its lovely. But unfortunately, no one knows it.” All nodded. “So now back to the question, why should we do good to our Self than to others. Its simple. I’ll say a story to make you understand.” All nodded. “Once upon a time there lived a frog. He liked to swim in any water. It didn’t matter whether it is good or bad, stinking or salty or fresh, or w

(50) “So what do you think? Is it wise to stay inactive?” “I don’t think so.” All nodded. “ But still Rafael there is one thing, I don’t understand, why such drastic measures on not utilizing our talents as to throw in the darkness? We are not doing anything good or bad.” All nodded “Good question Mathew. As I told you, do not take anything in the Bible in the literal sense.” All nodded. “But then what would it symbolize Rafael?” Rafael smiled. “I would like to say a story of a cat who had a friend, a dog. They both were the best of friends.” “A very weird friendship.” All smiled “Yes Mark, I just wanted to show how much different two human beings can be by this union.” All nodded. “So this cat and dog meets in a park daily. But there was a problem. The dog is always late. The cat waits and waits for hours until the cat doses off, the dog comes strutting. If you were the cat, what would you feel?” “I don’t think, for me, any friendship with

(49)  “So try to create positive energy.” “How?” Each thought, each word and ultimately, every action counts in the ongoing journey of our life.” all nodded. Rafael continued. “When you think good, when you do good, you would automatically produce positive energy. But that is not very easy. You should be good within, only then you can do good, or else you’d not be able to do any good.” All nodded "Have you heard in the Bible, where Jesus says about being good?" “ A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” All nodded. “Exactly Mathew, It’s the very same.” All nodded. “ But Rafael, why is it necessary to create positive energy, by doing good? Can’t we gain positive energy without doing anything, good or bad?” All smiled. “Good question Mathew. When you love someone what will you do?” “Oh!!! I don’t think I could answer that Rafael, because I think I’d do anything.” All nodded. “Exactly Mathew, eve

(48) “But Rafael, you told about positive energy. What do you mean by it?” “Good question Mathew. We are spiritual beings and our body which covers the soul is made up of atoms.” All nodded. “The atoms are always in vibration, these atoms are charged. You might have learnt all of these, right?” All nodded “Yes Rafael, we have.” “Good, Now as a human being we have to face lots of experiences in our day ro day life, like  anger, sadness, hatred, love, etc..etc…. All these emotions bring different sort of vibration to our atoms. Some very fast and erratic. Some  very tranquil.” “What does that mean Rafael?” “Yeah, I'll give an example, when two players are playing inside a squash court, have you seen the ball move? is it regular?” “No never.” “Yes, and look at a swing, how does it move?” “regular motion.” “Good. Now imagine would you be able to sit and read a book in the middle of the squash court in the middle of a game?” “Rafael!

(47) “Today I saw a man, actually a peon in a government office, a very old man but as fit as a fiddle. A friend of mine wanted a signature from the officer. Usually government officials use their clout to gain extra income through bribery. So every section of the office has to be oiled with bribe in order to get anything done. It was in this maze that my friend put his head into. With the necessary attestation, we got out of the office in search of the peon, who has the sole power to put the official seal of the respective official.” “What happened then?” “Well we couldn’t find him, we waited and waited and someone told that the chances of putting a seal at this hour is nil, so better return tomorrow. But my friend persisted. He stayed there. He said, we’ll wait, no problem. And finally, by quarter to an hour, the peon arrived, with quick steps. We introduced ourselves and asked, “would you be kind enough to put a seal on the attestations?” without batting his eyes

(46) “Rafael, are you saying that, along with our senses, our emotions are also an obstacle in reaching God?” “Yes Mark, not all but the emotions that creates negative energy. It not only is a block but also becomes a disease.” “Yes you have told regarding anger creating stomach problems.” All nodded. “Exactly. So I’m not covering that emotion but there is another great obstacle creator after fear.” “What is it Rafael?” “Sadness.” “Oh but sadness hurts only one person- the person who is sad. Then how come it creates negative energy, Rafael?” “Good Question. When a hot object is placed near an object what will happen to the nearby object?” “It gets hot, naturally.” All nodded. “Good, now you guys know, you are a spiritual being, you are made of atoms." All nodded "And for each emotion there is a specific vibration, that which is peaceful, very calm, but for vibrations as anger, fear, hatred, hurt, sadness, they are very erratic

  (45) “Now we are going to the next level - The Mind.” “You mean to say, the mind who creates obstacles at every turn of life?” “Exactly Mark, the very same serpent in the garden of Eden, which helped deviate the first parents from reaching God.” “God, I feel like shooting my mind, if ever it dares to come in any form.” All smiled. “It’s the same you Mathew, you are the physical creation of your mind.” “That is true, anyway, I’m glad now I know, how evil is my own mind. Its in itself a handful.” “Exactly, you should never forget that. There is no evil outside your soul. No man can do evil unless your mind creates it for you. So the devil is in you, that is the anomality of our being. That is the imperfection of our creation.” “Oh!!! No wonder, I always used to think, how come the snake came to the garden of Eden. Now I understand, it’s the symbolism of our mind creating the imperfection of nature. Now what Rafael?”
